Summer 2010


This summer has been a season of growth and experience. It was my first summer home from college, so it was hard trying to get used to be back home. My freshmen year ended on a good note. I have a great group of friends and have really started to love my "new home". All of my friends from school live far away, so that was a struggle at the start of summer.
I realized I needed to begin my busy summer in Champaign. That included an internship with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Through this internship I spent almost 3 weeks in total at camps. I met several friends and just gained experience. Best of all this summer was a time in which I have grown closer to God. He has taught me to depend on Him more and to trust Him in all circumstances. I not only interned this summer but I also worked at Birkey's for a few hours each day. I definitely found ways to stay busy! I took a trip to West Virginia for my birthday to visit Megan. It was a fun filled weekend and great to reconnect. My sister has been gone all summer so it was pretty quiet around the house, but I have been able to hang out with my family some and spend some time with my friends here in Champaign. This past weekend I was in my cousin and close friend's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and so neat to see 2 people so in love with God and each other. Next weekend I am going to visit a friend that I was a leader with at camp this summer. It will be nice to get away for one last weekend before it's time to pack up and head back to school.
This summer God has taught me so much. I am so excited to be back at school and to be able to use all that I have learned. He has put some plans in my heart for the coming year and I have been praying a lot about them. I can't wait to see all that He is going to do.
This all is just a brief recap of my summer, but I am going to try and keep this pretty updated during the school year as well.
